Soooo thirsty! Went to a "jumpin'" party last night. I nearly got a social life. I suppose I should be more careful next time. It is very warm recently...almost tropical (in upstate NY?). I need another weekend. You are a bottle of catsup but you HAVE NO IDEA how big you are.

Oh the burning! The fear! Make it stop! Yup, I am going to have to go to the ER tonight for my eye. It sucks, but I guess it is not so bad because I can read ~ 120 pages of Camel 3 in my waiting time. Hope I don't go blind. EMT class was fun. We got to learn how to extricate patients from cars in all sorts of ways. It was a blast...then I got to take a big exam. Stupid burns. The only thing I didn't study for.

Almost too depressed to make a diary entry today. I have pink eye bad. Doctor says to go to the ER if it gets any worse. Have to wake up waaay too early tommorrow to go to EMT class (8 hours of lab and exams). Got a webcam. Better get to bed.

Still working on that infernal paper. Maybe the Devo will help. I have been convinced to take Ritalin (or something of its ilk) so that I may increase my attention span from 1 second to 6 or maybe even 7 seconds. I don't know how I feel about this...but that's Officially OK.

Just when I have too much work, programming ideas come to me...just when I don't have the time. The grass is always greener, the glass more spotless, the computers more sexy. Oh four more weeks!!! Then I can spend all day coding and reading Applied Cryptography and all night playing pool and drinking. Those were the days...wait! These are the days.

Oh dear God. Still working on paper. five paragraphs done. The pain! The anguish! Kill me now. I am still working out this whole time-stamp-at-the-top-of-each-diary- entry thing. What looks good? What looks bad? Do I even care? I went to give blooood today but I think I have pink eye, so they made me go home. Plus I don't want them to have my blood! That's where they get to clone you! I'll be replaced! I am too dangerous to clone, anyway. They would have to keep my blood under lock and key to keep the world safe. And good luck with that!

* redmist thanks god that his blood is a superfluid and that it bounces all over the place and that The Man can't catch it *

Just got back from EMT class. Ate some burger, repented for my beefy sin. Yum. Back to the paper. So thirsty. I need another pen. Maybe I will actually <*GASP*> code tonight. Signing off for the night.

Oh, hear the lament of one who has strayed! I cheated on Advogato with kuro5hin. But I am back and better than ever! My positronic matrix has been upgraded and my metal contours made even more sexy.

Me have much work to do. Many too many papers to write. Makes me feel depressed. Oh well, I'll be out of here in 4 weeks...FOREVER!!!

Today I learned how to interpret EKG rhythms. My favorite rhythm is Premature Ventricular Contractions.

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
